The QIAcuity Nanoplates are microfluidic digital PCR plates that enable running 8, 24 or 96 samples with up to 8500 or 26,000 partitions per well. All four nanoplates are designed to run on the QIAcuity digital PCR instruments.
Unmatched Partition Density for Sensitive DetectionThe QIAcuity Nanoplate offers a remarkable 26,000 partitions per well, enabling exceptional resolution in digital PCR analyses. This high partition capacity ensures accurate absolute quantification of nucleic acid targets, supporting research and clinical diagnostics that require precise measurements in complex samples.
Seamless Integration and TrackingEach QIAcuity Nanoplate is equipped with a pre-applied barcode, supporting full traceability and streamlined workflows. These features, combined with compatibility for QIAcuity one- and four-plate platforms and accompanying software, enable robust automation in high-throughput laboratories.
Precision Engineering and Reliable PerformanceManufactured from chemical-resistant polypropylene, the nanoplate incorporates nanowell technology and an optical adhesive film seal. Its design ensures optimal sample partitioning and compatibility with PCR reagents, providing consistent and trustworthy results with every run.
FAQ's of Qiagen QIAcuity Nanoplate 26k 24-well:
Q: How do I use the QIAcuity Nanoplate 26k 24-well for my digital PCR experiments?
A: To use the nanoplate, dispense up to 40 l of your PCR sample into each well. The plate is placed in the QIAcuity Digital PCR Instrument, where samples are automatically partitioned into 26,000 nanowells per well for digital PCR analysis.
Q: What benefits does the high partition capacity offer for my dPCR applications?
A: A total of 26,000 partitions per well enables highly sensitive and precise quantification of nucleic acid targets, reducing the chance of partitioning errors and increasing detection capabilities for low-abundance analytes.
Q: When should I use this nanoplate format in my workflow?
A: Utilize the QIAcuity Nanoplate 26k 24-well when you require high-throughput digital PCR with excellent quantitation, such as in clinical diagnostics, research studies, or routine laboratory testing for absolute nucleic acid measurement.
Q: Where can the QIAcuity Nanoplate be stored, and what precautions should I take?
A: Store the plates at room temperature, avoiding direct exposure to sunlight to maintain product integrity. No refrigeration is required, simplifying storage logistics.
Q: What ensures accurate sample tracking during automated workflows?
A: Each plate comes with a pre-applied barcode that integrates with both the QIAcuity instrument and software, allowing automated sample identification, tracking, and seamless data management.
Q: How does the optical adhesive film improve PCR performance?
A: The optical adhesive film tightly seals each well, preventing sample evaporation and cross-contamination during thermal cycling, while maintaining optical clarity for real-time PCR data collection.
Q: What is the process for data transfer and synchronization with other systems?
A: After running your dPCR experiment, data can be transferred via cable to a connected analysis workstation. The nanoplate is fully compatible with the QIAcuity Software Suite and synchronizes easily with the QIAcuity dPCR System for efficient data sharing and analysis.
